Boulder is not for hippies

It's not all happy hippie-land in my ex-residence of Boulder, CO. The
police there have put up a web site of
photos of people smoking pot on 4/20.

If you can identify any of these people, they will give you $50. That might
be enough for a quarter. Hah. Seriously, shouldn't the snitches be charging a
little more? It seems not, since a few photos are already marked "IDENTIFIED".
Those could be ringers, but it looks like the self-respect to dollar
exchange-rate is strongly favoring the dollar.

They did something like this in East Lansing, MI when I was there too. We
had some riots after the MSU basketball team was eliminated from the NCAA
tournament. Nasty things happened. Thousands of people in the streets,
many/most of the windows on the downtown shopping strip broken, police cars
overturned and set on fire, etc. So in the following days the police put
pictures of people up on the Internets. The site was promptly cracked, and the
photos replaced with entertaining graphics. Eventually the police regained
control of the situation and managed to arrest some people on the basis of
tips. In the aftermath of all this carnage, do you know who they went after
first? The women who took their tops off.

Why didn't they just arrest people on the spot in Boulder? It seems that the
police were afraid of challenging a group of pot smokers as a group, and would
prefer to go get them one-by-one.

Anyway, they need to rethink their system. Having a flat rate doesn't make
sense. For example, if you have to admit to knowing this
guy (maybe NSFW, unless you work at the Boulder PD), you need to be paid more.
